My lifetime achievement award goes to George Carlin, who will always be the king. A second goes to John "Dr. Dirty" Valby, who's milked a 25+ year career out of playing the piano, singing dirty limericks, and turning current events into filthy song parodies at dives nationwide.
What little I've seen of Chappelle's Show, I've liked.
Other current comics I enjoy include Stephen Lynch (who's hysterical live), Doug Stanhope (standup, not Man Show material), Otto & George (the world's filthiest ventriloquist's puppet), Jim Norton, Eddie Izzard, Henry Rollins's spoken word rants (though I like his serious subject matter as well), Lewis Black, and a soft spot for Dana Gould just for his work as Gex the gecko.
